- Title
»Barbaren aus dem Osten« und »barbarischer Osten« -Ein Vergleich deutsch-französischer und deutsch-polnischer Stereotypie im 19. Jahrhundert.
- Authors
Serrier, Thomas
- Abstract
A comparison of 19th century stereotypes held by French and Polish people about Germans is presented, in which the author discusses the origin of stereotypes, the persistence of the European stereotype of the barbaric East, and the contributions of the formation of nations to stereotypes. Stereotypes of Prussian Germans as uncivilized bandits and rapists are discussed, particularly within the context of the Greater Poland Uprising in Poznań, Poland. Conflicts over the Rhine River bordering France and Germany are mentioned as a contributing cause for tensions between French and German people.
